A 22-year-old man with patentductusarteriosus with severe pulmonary hypertension was operated upon successfully.
2
Patients with patentductusarteriosus resembled the healthy control subjects with regard to anaerobic metabolism during exercise.
3
Although she is now doing okay, she has been diagnosed with a heart problem called patentductusarteriosus.
4
The patient underwent pulmonary artery banding and clipping of patentductusarteriosus after repair of the diaphragmatic hernia.
5
Indomethacin is a drug widely used to achieve pharmacologic closure of a patentductusarteriosus in the premature infant.
6
Two of 12 patients underwent patentductusarteriosus stenting to facilitate preparation of left ventricle for transposition with intact septum.
7
Small for gestational age infants had increased risk of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia regardless of their patentductusarteriosus status.
8
Such examples include multiple ventricular septal defects, anomalous pulmonary venous connection, coronary artery malformations, and the hypertensive patentductusarteriosus.
9
Aim: To compare the patentductusarteriosus treatment approach and outcomes in small for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age infants.
10
Background: The current treatment approach in patentductusarteriosus suggests the identification of high-risk infants that may benefit the most from treatment.
11
The woman had small patentductusarteriosus and developed aortic regurgitation, but was treated by antibiotics and corset application with good result.
12
Associated anomalies included patentductusarteriosus, septal defects, foot anomalies and developmental disability, the latter with a higher prevalence in deletion carriers.
13
Recently, stenting the patentductusarteriosus has emerged as an alternative in selected infants with congenital heart disease and reduced pulmonary blood flow.
14
Small for gestational age infants are a high-risk population in which the treatment approach to the patentductusarteriosus and outcomes have not been described.
15
Methods and results: We reviewed records of consecutive infants undergoing stenting of patentductusarteriosus between August 2003 and October 2005 at our institution.
16
Conclusions: Patentductusarteriosus management did not differ between small for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age infants.
